-Ideas for a future version of supermin.
+For supermin 5 rewrite:
 
-
-hostfiles
----------
-
-'hostfiles' causes lots of trouble, because it bakes path dependencies
-into the supermin appliance.
-
-We propose to replace this with a list of root packages.  Lines in
-hostfiles beginning with a "+" sign are a root package, eg:
-
-  +bash
-  +coreutils
-
-We then query RPM or dpkg to get a list of hostfiles at appliance boot
-time.  eg. For rpm we'd do the rpmlib equivalents of:
-
-  rpm -ql bash    # list of files in bash
-  rpm -qR bash    # what bash requires
-  rpm -q --whatprovides <depN>    # recursively look up each requires
-
-(If this is too slow, aggressively cache the results)
-
-Some files still need to be stored at build time, basically %config
-files.
-
-Unclear what to do about kernels if we make this change.
-
-'hostfiles' may still be needed for a handful of files that we really
-want to copy in.  Notable ones: /etc/localtime and /etc/resolv.conf.
+ - FIX SUPERMIN_KERNEL ETC ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+ - support for debian
+ - support for other distros
+ - locking
+ - check RPM package database and only rebuild when necessary

-Directories
------------
-
-Reconstruction is tied to having directories being created before they
-are used.  We should try to remove this limitation as it's really
-quite unnecessary.
-
-
-Use libsolv or hawkey for dependency resolution
------------------------------------------------
-
-Using Python + yum to resolve RPM dependencies is sucky and slow.  We
-should look at the combination of DNF, libsolv and hawkey to replace
-them:

+ - install from a set of package files
+ - exclude packages after dep solving

-*NOTE*: This program is designed to be very short-lived, and so we

-not completely true - we free up stuff if it's obvious and easy to
-free up, and ignore the rest.

- * The initrd consists of these components concatenated together:
- *
- * (1) The base skeleton appliance that we constructed at build time.
- *     format = plain cpio
- * (2) The host files which match wildcards in *.supermin.hostfiles.
- *     input format = plain text, output format = plain cpio
- * (3) The modules from modpath which are on the module whitelist.
- *     output format = plain cpio
- *
- * The original shell script used the external cpio program to create
- * parts (2) and (3), but we have decided it's going to be faster if
- * we just write out the data outselves.  The reasons are that
- * external cpio is slow (particularly when used with SELinux because
- * it does 512 byte reads), and the format that we're writing is
- * narrow and well understood, because we only care that the Linux
- * kernel can read it.
- *
- * This version contains some improvements over the C version written
- * for libguestfs, in that we can have multiple base images (or
- * hostfiles) or use a directory to store these files.

-=head1 NAME
-
-supermin-helper - Reconstruct initramfs from supermin appliance.
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-New style (since supermin 4.1.5):
-
- supermin-helper [-f cpio|ext2] -o outputdir input [input...]
-
-or:
-
- supermin-helper [-f cpio|ext2] --output-kernel kernel \
-   [--output-dtb dtb] --output-initrd initrd \
-   [--output-appliance appliance] input [input...]
-
-or:
-
- supermin-helper -f checksum input [input ...]
-
-Old style (still supported in this version but deprecated):
-
- supermin-helper [-f cpio] supermin.img hostfiles.txt host_cpu kernel initrd
- supermin-helper [-f cpio] input [...] host_cpu kernel initrd
-
- supermin-helper -f ext2 input [...] host_cpu kernel initrd appliance
-
- supermin-helper -f checksum input [...] host_cpu
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-I<supermin-helper> reconstructs a bootable kernel and initramfs from a
-supermin appliance.  First you should be familiar with L<supermin(1)>.
-
-=head1 PARAMETERS
-
-Specify the I<input> file(s), and I<-o> or I<--output-*> flags
-indicating where you want the appliance to be written.
-
-Use the I<-f> option to select what type of appliance you want.
-
-C<supermin.img> and C<hostfiles.txt> are the input files which
-describe the supermin appliance.  (You can also use a directory name
-here which is searched for files).
-
-To write the appliance to a directory, use I<-o outputdir>.  The
-directory should already exist.  Files called C<outputdir/kernel>,
-C<outputdir/dtb>, C<outputdir/initrd> and/or C<outputdir/appliance>
-will be written.  (Not all files are written, it depends on what kind
-of appliance you asked for and what architecture you are running on)
-
-To write files with specific names instead, use the
-I<--output-kernel>, I<--output-dtb>, I<--output-initrd> and/or
-I<--output-appliance> options.
-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over 4
-
-=item B<--help>
-
-Display brief command line usage, and exit.
-
-=item B<--copy-kernel>
-
-Copy the kernel (and device tree, if created) instead of symlinking to
-the kernel in C</boot>.
-
-This is fractionally slower, but is necessary if you want to change
-the permissions or SELinux label on the kernel or device tree.
-
-=item B<--dtb wildcard>
-
-If specified, search for a device tree which is compatible with the
-selected kernel and the name of which matches the given wildcard.  You
-can use a wildcard such as C<vexpress-*a9*.dtb> which would match
-C<vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb>.
-
-Notes:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-You may need to quote the wildcard to prevent it from being expanded
-by your shell.
-
-=item *
-
-If no I<--dtb> option is given, no device tree will be looked for.
-
-=item *
-
-You only need a device tree on architectures such as ARM and PowerPC
-which use them.  On other architectures, don't use this option.
-
-=item *
-
-If you use this option and no compatible device tree can be found,
-supermin-helper will exit with an error.
-
-=back
-
-=item B<-f fmt>
-
-=item B<--format fmt>
-
-Select the output format for the appliance.  Possible formats are:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item cpio
-
-A Linux initramfs.  This is the default.
-
-In this case you have to supply output names for the C<kernel> and
-C<initrd>.  The C<initrd> is the appliance.
-
-Note that L<cpio(1)> might not be able to extract this file fully.
-The format used by the Linux kernel is not quite a true cpio file.
-
-=item ext2
-
-An ext2 filesystem.
-
-In this case you have to supply output names for the C<kernel>, a
-small C<initrd> which is used just to locate the appliance, and the
-C<appliance> (the ext2 filesystem).
-
-=item checksum
-
-Output a checksum.
-
-This prints a checksum which only changes when one of the input files
-changes.
-
-You can use this in order to cache the output of a previous run of
-this program: computing the checksum is much quicker than building an
-appliance, and you only need to invalidate the cache (and consequently
-rebuild the appliance) when the checksum changes.  Note that the
-host_cpu and the UID of the current user are included in the checksum.
-
-=back
-
-=item B<--host-cpu cpu>
-
-Specify the host CPU (eg. C<i686>, C<x86_64>).  This is used as a
-substring match when searching for compatible kernels.  If not
-specified, it defaults to the host CPU that supermin-helper was
-compiled on.
-
-=item B<-k file>
-
-=item B<--kmods file>
-
-If this option is specified, then C<file> should be a list of
-wildcards matching kernel module names, eg:
-
- virtio*.ko
- scsi*.ko
- piix.ko
-
-In this case, only kernel modules matching those wildcards will be
-included in the output appliance.  Note: You must resolve any
-dependencies yourself as this does not pull in dependent modules
-automatically.
-
-If this option is not specified, then every kernel module from the
-host will be included.  This is safer, but can produce rather large
-appliances which need a lot more memory to boot.
-
-=item B<-o outputdir>
-
-Write the appliance to the named directory.  Two or more of the
-following files will be created (the exact files created depends on
-the type of appliance you asked for and the architecture):
-
-=over 4
-
-=item C<outputdir/kernel>
-
-(ie. A file literally called C<kernel> in the directory I<outputdir>
-that you specified).  This is usually a symlink to the kernel, unless
-you gave the I<--copy-kernel> option.
-
-=item C<outputdir/dtb>
-
-The device tree.  See also the I<--dtb> option.
-
-This is only created on architectures that use device trees, eg. ARM.
-
-This is usually a symlink to the device tree binary file, unless you
-gave the I<--copy-kernel> option.
-
-=item C<outputdir/initrd>
-
-The initrd.  For I<-f cpio> this also contains the full appliance.
-For I<-f ext2> this is just a small initrd which is sufficient to find
-and mount the appliance disk.
-
-=item C<outputdir/appliance>
-
-The appliance disk (only for I<-f ext2>).
-
-=back
-
-=item B<--output-kernel kernel>
-
-Instead of using the literal hard-coded name C<kernel>, write the
-kernel to the named path.
-This overrides the I<-o outputdir> option (if present).
-
-=item B<--output-dtb dtb>
-
-Instead of using the literal hard-coded name C<dtb>, write the
-device tree to the named path.
-This overrides the I<-o outputdir> option (if present).
-
-=item B<--output-initrd initrd>
-
-Instead of using the literal hard-coded name C<initrd>, write the
-initrd to the named path.
-This overrides the I<-o outputdir> option (if present).
-
-=item B<--output-initrd appliance>
-
-Instead of using the literal hard-coded name C<appliance>, write the
-initrd to the named path.
-This overrides the I<-o outputdir> option (if present).
-
-=item B<-u user>
-
-=item B<--user user>
-
-=item B<-g group>
-
-=item B<--group group>
-
-Run supermin-helper as an alternate user and/or group.  C<user> and
-C<group> can be specified as either a name, which will be resolved
-using the system name service, or a uid/gid.  Use of these options
-requires root privileges.
-
-Use of these options is required if running supermin-helper as root
-with the effective uid/gid set to non-root.  Bash will reset the
-effective uid/gid to the real uid/gid when invoked.  As
-supermin-helper uses bash in parts, this will result in the creation
-of an appliance with a mixture of ownerships.
-
-=item B<-v>
-
-=item B<--verbose>
-
-Enable verbose messages (give multiple times for more verbosity).
-
-=item B<-V>
-
-=item B<--version>
-
-Display version number and exit.
-
-=back
-
-=head1 COMPRESSED INPUT FILES
-
-supermin-helper E<ge> 4.1.4 supports gzip-compressed input cpio image
-files.  C<hostfiles> cannot be compressed.
-
-Compressing input files saves space, but can make supermin-helper run
-fractionally slower.
-
-=head1 SPEED
-
-In libguestfs, on a mid-range Intel-based PC, we reconstruct the
-initramfs using this script in around 1/5th of a second (assuming a
-"hot cache" - it's rather slower when run the first time on a cold
-cache).
-
-Some tips to improve performance:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-Use a kernel module whitelist (the C<--kmods> option), and only
-list the kernel modules you really need.
-
-=item *
-
-Minimize the appliance, removing as much extraneous junk as possible.
-
-=back
-
-=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
-
-=over 4
-
-=item SUPERMIN_KERNEL
-
-If this environment variable is set, then automatic selection of the
-kernel is bypassed and this kernel is used.
-
-The environment variable should point to a kernel file,
-eg. C</boot/vmlinuz-3.0.x86_64>
-
-The corresponding module path is guessed from the kernel name, but you
-can override that by setting C<SUPERMIN_MODULES>.
-
-=item SUPERMIN_MODULES
-
-If C<SUPERMIN_KERNEL> and C<SUPERMIN_MODULES> are both set, then
-automatic selection of the kernel is bypassed and the kernel and
-module path are set to these values.
-
-The environment variable should point to a module directory,
-eg. C</lib/modules/3.0.x86_64/>
-
-This has no effect if C<SUPERMIN_KERNEL> is not set.
-
-=item SUPERMIN_DTB
-
-Force the given device tree file to be used.

-=back

+Supermin is a tool for building supermin appliances.  These are tiny
+appliances (similar to virtual machines), usually around 100KB in
 size, which get fully instantiated on-the-fly in a fraction of a
 second when you need to boot one of them.
 
-Originally "fe" in "febootstrap" stood for "Fedora", but this tool is
-now distro-independent and can build supermin appliances for several
-popular Linux distros, and adding support for others is reasonably
-easy.  For this reason, starting with version 4, we have renamed the
-tool "supermin".
-
-Note that this manual page documents supermin 4.x which is a complete
-rewrite and quite different from febootstrap 2.x.  If you are looking
-for the febootstrap 2.x tools, then this is not the right place.
+This program used to be called febootstrap.  This manual page
+documents supermin 5.x which is a complete rewrite and quite different
+from febootstrap 2.x.  If you are looking for the febootstrap 2.x
+tools, then this is not the right place.
 
 =head2 BASIC OPERATION
 
-There are two modes for using supermin.  With the I<--names>
-parameter, supermin takes a list of package names and creates a
-supermin appliance containing those packages and all dependencies that
-those packages require.  In this mode supermin usually needs
-network access because it may need to consult package repositories in
-order to work out dependencies and download packages.
-
-Without I<--names>, supermin takes a list of packages (ie.
-filenames of locally available packages).  This package set must be
-complete and consistent with no dependencies outside the set of
-packages you provide.  In this mode supermin does not require any
-network access.  It works by looking at the package files themselves.
-
-By "package" we mean the RPM, DEB, (etc.) package.  A package name
-might be the fully qualified name (eg. C<coreutils-8.5-7.fc14.x86_64>)
-or some abbreviation (eg. C<coreutils>).  The precise format of the
-name and what abbreviations are allowed depends on the package
-manager.
-
-The supermin appliance that supermin writes consists of two files
-called C<hostfiles> and C<base.img> (see L</SUPERMIN APPLIANCES>
-below).  By default these are written to the current directory.  If
-you specify the I<-o OUTPUTDIR> option then these files are written to
-the named directory instead (traditionally this directory is named
-C<supermin.d> but you can call it whatever you want).
+The supermin tool can be used in two modes, B<preparing> a tiny
+supermin appliance, which is done on a build system.  And B<building>,
+which takes the supermin appliance and constructs a full, bootable
+appliance, which is done on the end user's system.
+
+Supermin does not need to be run as root, and generally I<should not>
+be run as root.  It does not affect the host system or the packages
+installed on the host system.
+
+=head3 PREPARE MODE
+
+I<--prepare> creates the tiny supermin appliance in the given output
+directory.  You give it a list of packages that you want installed,
+and supermin will automatically find the dependencies.  The list of
+packages has to be installed on the host machine.
+
+For example:
+
+ mkdir supermin.d
+ supermin --prepare bash coreutils -o supermin.d
+
+creates a supermin appliance containing the packages C<bash> and
+C<coreutils>.  Specifically, it creates some files in directory
+C<supermin.d>.  This directory I<is> the supermin appliance.  (See
+L</SUPERMIN APPLIANCES> below).
+
+It is intended that the I<--prepare> step is done on a central build
+machine, and the supermin appliance is distributed to end users (which
+is easy because supermin appliances are so small).
+
+=head3 BUILD MODE
+
+I<--build> (previously a separate program called C<supermin-helper>)
+builds the full appliance from the supermin appliance:
+
+ supermin --build --format ext2 supermin.d
+
+This will create files called C<kernel>, C<root> etc in the current
+directory, which is the full sized bootable appliance.
+
+It is intended that the I<--build> step is done on the end user's
+machine at the last second before the appliance is needed.  The
+packages in the supermin appliance (those specified when the supermin
+appliance was prepared) must be installed on the end user's machine.
+
+=head3 PACKAGES
+
+By "package" we mean the RPM, Debian, (etc.) package,
+eg. C<coreutils>, C<perl>.

 =head2 RECONSTRUCTING THE APPLIANCE
 
-The separate tool L<supermin-helper(1)> is used to
-reconstruct an appliance from the hostfiles and base image files.
+The separate mode C<supermin --build> is used to reconstruct an
+appliance from the supermin appliance files.
 
 This program in fact iterates recursively over the files and
-directories passed to it.  A common layout is:
+directories passed to it.  A common layout could look like this:
 
  supermin.d/
- supermin.d/base.img
- supermin.d/extra.img
- supermin.d/hostfiles
-
-and then invoking supermin-helper with just the
-C<supermin.d> directory path as an argument.
+ supermin.d/base.tar.gz
+ supermin.d/extra.tar.gz
+ supermin.d/packages
+ supermin.d/zz-hostfiles
 
 In this way extra files can be added to the appliance just by creating
-another cpio file (C<extra.img> in the example above) and dropping it
-into the directory.  When the appliance is constructed, the extra
-files will appear in the appliance.
-
-=head3 DIRECTORIES BEFORE FILES
-
-In order for supermin-helper to run quickly, it does not
-know how to create directories automatically.  Inside hostfiles and
-the cpio files, directories must be specified before any files that
-they contain.  For example:
-
- /usr
- /usr/sbin
- /usr/sbin/serviced
-
-It is fine to list the same directory name multiple times.
-
-=head3 LEXICOGRAPHICAL ORDER
-
-supermin-helper visits the supermin control files in
-lexicographical order.  Thus in the example above, in the order
-C<base.img> -E<gt> C<extra.img> -E<gt> C<hostfiles>.
-
-This has an important effect: files contained in later cpio files
-overwrite earlier files, and directories do not need to be specified
-if they have already been created in earlier control files.
-
-=head3 EXAMPLE OF CREATING EXTRA CPIO FILE
-
-You can create a file like C<extra.img> very easily using a shell
-snippet similar to this one:
-
- cd $tmpdir
- mkdir -p usr/sbin
- cp /path/to/serviced usr/sbin/
- echo -e "usr\nusr/sbin\nusr/sbin/serviced" |
-   cpio --quiet -o -H newc > extra.img
- rm -rf usr
-
-Notice how we instruct cpio to create intermediate directories.
+another tar file (C<extra.tar.gz> in the example above) and dropping
+it into the directory, and additional host files can be added
+(C<zz-hostfiles> in the example above).  When the appliance is
+constructed, the extra files will appear in the appliance.
 
 =head2 MINIMIZING THE SUPERMIN APPLIANCE
 
 You may want to "minimize" the supermin appliance in order to save
 time and space when it is instantiated.  Typically you might want to
-remove documentation, info files, man pages and locales.  We used to
-provide a separate tool called C<febootstrap-minimize> for this
-purpose, but it is no longer provided.  Instead you can post-process
-C<hostfiles> yourself to remove any files or directories that you
-don't want (by removing lines from the file).  Be careful what you
-remove because files may be necessary for correct operation of the
-appliance.
+remove documentation, info files, man pages and locales.
 
-For example:
+You can do this by creating an excludefiles that lists files,
+directories or wildcards that you don't want to include.  They are
+skipped when the full appliance is built.
 
- < supermin.d/hostfiles \
- grep -v '^/usr/share/man/' |
- grep -v '^/usr/share/doc/' |
- grep -v '^/usr/share/info/' > supermin.d/hostfiles-t
- mv supermin.d/hostfiles-t supermin.d/hostfiles

 =head2 BOOTING AND CACHING THE SUPERMIN APPLIANCE

 =head2 ENFORCING AVAILABILITY OF HOSTFILES
 
-supermin-helper builds the appliance by copying in host
-files as listed in C<hostfiles>.  For this to work those host files
-must be available.  We usually enforce this by adding requirements
-(eg. RPM C<Requires:> lines) on the package that uses the supermin
-appliance, so that package cannot be installed without pulling in the
-dependent packages and thus making sure the host files are available.

+=over 4
+
+=item SUPERMIN_KERNEL
+
+If this environment variable is set, then automatic selection of the

+
+The environment variable should point to a kernel file,
+eg. C</boot/vmlinuz-3.0.x86_64>
+
+=item SUPERMIN_MODULES
+
+This specifies the kernel modules directory to use.
+
+The environment variable should point to a module directory,

- * Theory of operation:
- * called as root:
- *  - without --use-installed:
- *    ->ph_resolve_dependencies_and_download() returns a list of filenames
- *    Need to download all packages into an empty --root directory so that
- *    zypper places all dependencies into --pkg-cache-dir
- *  - with --use-installed:
- *    ->ph_resolve_dependencies_and_download() returns a list of package names
- *    Need to work with an empty --root directory so that zypper can list
- *    all dependencies of "names". This mode assumes that all required packages
- *    are installed and the system is consistent. Downloading just the missing
- *    packages is not implemented.
- * called as non-root:
- *    (Due to the usage of --root zypper does not require root permissions.)
- *  - without --use-installed:
- *    Same as above.
- *  - with --use-installed:
- *    Same as above.
- *
- * The usage of --packager-config is tricky: If --root is used zypper assumes
- * that every config file is below <rootdir>. So the config has to be parsed
- * and relevant files/dirs should be copied into <rootdir> so that zypper can
- * use the specified config.
